Taking into account that I’m perpetually tired, I’m going to do myself a favor this one time by cutting out flowery prose and any impressive bells and whistles from my introduction.
In short, I am in search of an excuse to exercise my lingual skills as well as that old (and frankly neglected) imagination gland. Because of the limitations placed on me by my present schedule, it would be ideal if I could find a partner to work with. Of course, I’m always open to multiple partners, assuming all are willing to put up with my particular quirks and inabilities.
Speaking of quirks and shortcomings:
- Presently, my schedule is exceptionally hectic. That’s not to say I’ll be unreliable. Because I actually have a schedule, I like to think I’ll be better able to reply consistently during the slower periods of my day (namely between finishing projects and falling asleep). Assuming everything remains as it is, I could probably pump out replies within roughly 72 hours of receiving them. However, I ask that one does not expect anything more than weekly replies, especially if I happen to take on multiple games.
- School is my top priority. I will take leave for major projects if necessary but again have no intention of leaving anyone hanging for more than a week or so (I foresee Sundays being a major reply day).
- I tend to prefer written descriptions for just about everything within the game. I have nothing against a writing style which takes advantage of an online medium using links to images, etc. but I’m really just looking to write. That being said, presently, I would prefer to stay away from script-style as well (again, I have nothing against it).
- I have no particular predisposition to writing characters of any gender. Character sexuality, beliefs, etc. all tend to vary as well and I ask my partners to understand that in no way do any characters I write represent me as an individual. Still on that note, if there is a role you’d like me to write, please feel free to make suggestions.
As far as what I’m looking for in an RP partner:
- Reasonably regular replies would be nice -- once every week or two is enough to keep me interested. If you’re feeling ambitious, I’d certainly appreciate replies at a faster pace but can’t promise to always return the favor.
- While I see the appeal of shorter posts, I’d prefer longer replies at the moment. I’m in dire need of practice and I tend to find that longer replies pair better with slower games. Let's set a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs to keep things low pressure.
- While not required, it would be nice if you would talk with me about the game so we could develop it OOC and have a direction for the IC. I could certainly be on regularly for some quick plot discussion in my typical down time.
On to what I’m looking for in a game:
I’m really open to most genres, so if there is anything you’d really like to play and for one reason or another you’ve dubbed me a good fit, feel free to make any suggestions. The worst I could do is to attempt to make a snarky comment only to realize that I’m not quite clever enough to be making any humorous quips. Really though, I don’t bite and I’m certain whatever you have to offer is super.
For the time being, I’m just going to leave a generic list of things that especially interest me at the moment. Just send a PM and I would be glad to expand.
Things for which I have semi-formed settings or inklings of potential plots
- Apocalypse / Post-Apocalypse (Be it nuclear, zombie, etc.)
- Vampire Overlords
- Epic Quest (fantasy or otherwise)
- Pirates (of the seas or of the skies)
- Randomly forcing characters together in random situations
- Secret agents and drug lords or whatever – I have nothing for this but think it could be neat
Things for which I really do have a barebones plot (and maybe a setting). I’ll update this list with the ideas at another time (Edit: Maybe. It has been roughly one year and I haven't gotten around to it yet)
- WWI
- Sniper vs. Sniper (could go with several settings)
- Historical polygyny or concubine drama (this particular will very likely include hints of homosexuality between women)
- Isolated wizard story
- Superhero drama
Post Samples -
This is a response post, so it's safe to assume things that don't quite make sense are in reference to something from previous posts or things I intended to elaborate on later... or I may have been half asleep or in a rush. I don't entirely remember.
More post samples can be provided upon request.
